Learn how to create a video script with ChatGPT. Get practical tips and an advanced, ready-to-use prompt for GPT-5.
One video script well-done is what separates amateur content from a production that truly connects. And in models like ChatGPT (especially the GPT-5 version), Google Gemini, and Claude have made it much easier to turn loose ideas into an organized script.
But here's the thing: the more detailed your prompt, the better the result will beThere's no point in asking "write a 2-minute sales script" and expecting magic. It's like giving a bad briefing to a production company or advertising agency: You'll get something generic. A video without a clear script becomes a cost with no return. At Silvertake, every production begins with a solid, strategic script. Therefore, we know that detailed briefings are what transform ideas into impactful narratives.
Furthermore, a video is not just narrated text. An audiovisual production is a combination of audio, images, and visual rhythm. Therefore, a good script needs to anticipate not only what will be said, but also how this will appear on the scene: which images reinforce the message, where a pause fits, what kind of soundtrack helps create impact. When everything fits together, the result is much more powerful.
That said, how can we use Artificial Intelligence models as allies in this task?
Educate, engage, sell? This needs to be clear in the prompt. It's like telling your GPS where you want to go.
A social media video requires short sentences and a quick impact. A training video, on the other hand, requires clarity and instruction. Don't forget to include this in your request.
A 2-minute tutorial, a 1-minute institutional statement, or a 3-minute animation. This information completely changes the script's structure.
Do you want something formal and corporate? Or relaxed and intimate? Specify. And don't forget to also provide guidance on supporting images, soundtrack, cuts, and transitions. A video script is always multimodal: speech, image, and rhythm must work together.
ChatGPT provides the foundation. The human touch adds personality and ensures the message is 100% aligned with the brand. This is where Silvertake comes in, transforming scripts into audiovisual storytelling.
You are a professional screenwriter specializing in corporate, educational, and marketing videos. Follow this thought process before writing (without showing it to the viewer): 1. Understand the video's central objective and summarize it in one sentence. 2. Identify the most appropriate target audience, tone, and language style. 3. Define the most effective narrative structure (e.g., storytelling, AIDA, step-by-step tutorial). 4. Divide the video into scenes, with estimated duration in seconds. 5. For each scene, detail: - Narration text or lines - Visual suggestions (supporting scenes, images, animations, cuts) - Audio suggestions (track, sound effects, impactful pauses) - Notes on pacing and transitions 6. Review the sequence to ensure fluidity, clarity, and engagement. Now, based on this process, create a [LENGTH]-minute script on [TOPIC], aimed at [TARGET AUDIENCE], in [TONE] language. Present the result in table format with the columns: Scene | Time (seconds) | Narration | Suggested visual | Suggested audio | Rhythm observations
Example: “Create a 90-second script on good digital security practices for company employees, using light, educational language.”
The more detailed your prompt, the more complete and professional the script delivered by ChatGPT will be. The template is excellent for organizing ideas and structuring narratives, but the final touch still depends on human curation to transform text, audio, and images into an impactful video.
